When the two groups of people met, they were all stunned.
Mu Yan and the others did not expect to see Huo Xi here, but Huo Xi was stunned when he saw the miserable state of their bodies. They were so bloody that they looked so miserable.
"Why are you here?"
"This is not far from the ferry." Yang Fu had never seen such a scene before, his voice trembled and his nose wrinkled in discomfort.
There was a strong smell of blood all around.
"Are you okay?" Huo Xi glanced at them, a little worried.
"It's okay. He's still alive. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to escape so easily." Kan Er breathed a sigh of relief. It's great to be alive again.
"Don't do such a dangerous thing next time." Mu Yan's voice was cold.
Li Yi also nodded: "Yes, it's too dangerous. We are used to it. If you are discovered, you don't need to be stabbed a second time."
Yang Fu shivered cleverly. At that time, he had a rush of blood. Looking back now, his hands and feet were very soft.
"After getting to know each other, I can't just watch you being destroyed. Your golden legs are there."
"What thighs?"
Uh, why did you say what was in your heart? Huo Xi just wanted to slap herself in the mouth.
Kan Er laughed: "Does it mean that you have a backer?"
"Hehe." Huo Xi didn't answer, just smiled at them.
"Don't worry, thanks to you today, my brothers will be your backers from now on." Kan Er's chest slapped loudly.
Mu Yan glared at him and looked at Huo Xi: "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Several people walked to the ferry together.
"What you just threw was tung oil and bar? It was really accurate." Kan Er praised.
"We usually set the net, and we have some strength and accuracy in our hands." After leaving that place, Yang Fu also calmed down and replied in a relaxed tone.
Along the way, Kan Erliyi was asking questions about Yang Fu and Huo Xi. Qian Sankun and Si didn't follow. Mu Yan didn't speak.
I glanced at the little girl. She was really brave. A few years ago, when she saw injustice in a dark alley, she wanted to climb over the wall. Today, when she saw a fight, she stayed there to watch the fun instead of running away. She even made a torch and threw fireballs.
I don't know whether to call her enthusiastic or stupid and bold.
When he saw the ferry in the distance, Mu Yan stopped and said, "Let's stop here."
Huo Xi glanced at him: "Is your injury okay?"
"Don't worry, you won't die."
Huo Xi pouted, "Who is he? He speaks without any warmth, and he doesn't know what kind of person would marry him. Living with such a person would be boring to death."
Mu Yan saw her little moves in his eyes and kept a calm expression on his face.
"Thank you for sending us back. You can go back too." Yang Fu waved to the three of them and pulled Huo Xi to the ferry.
Yang and Huo Erhuai's necks were stretched out, and they were anxious to circle around the boat when they didn't see them back. Huo Erhuai was about to go ashore to look for them when he saw his uncle and nephew walking towards them.
"Why so late?"
"Something delayed me."
"Are you okay? If you're late from now on, you'll stay in the city. It's late at night. Mom and your dad will worry about it all night."
"good."
Mu Yan saw the boat rowing out of the ferry from a distance, and then turned around.
The light in Mu's study room was on all night.
"Is it possible that the princess and the consort are going back to the capital, and the madam is following them back to the capital for a long stay, so they can't help but take action?"
"Princess Chang Ning is not favored, and she may not be able to speak out for the young master. The madam has more than just a grandson for the young master. Besides, if the young master passes away, he will not be in her lap."
"The eldest son over there is one year older than the young master. Now your majesty is still holding the document that the marquis invited to be crowned prince. I'm afraid he even dreams that the young master is dead, so as to break the situation."
Mu Yan's voice was sarcastic: "Am I so easy to die?"
The more they don't let him live, the more he insists on showing them alive. Jun's natal family's property was completely destroyed by him, and they must be desperate.
Huo Xi waited on the boat for two days before going to the shop. Not long after entering the shop, Kan Er came over and said that his young master invited her to dinner.
"take me Out to eat?"
"Well, I've been here for two days and I haven't seen you."
Huo Xi would not say that she was scared and did not recover, so she stayed on the boat. She only smiled.
"I didn't do anything, there's no need to treat me to dinner."
"Let's go. My young master has such a temper. If you don't go, he will still be waiting in the restaurant."
"Has he been taking a shower these days?"
"No, he will take a bath when you are free."
Uh, okay, why don't you go and eat and drink for free.
When we arrived at the restaurant, the proud young master was sitting in a private room with another guard.
"I forgot to introduce you, his name is Li Yi, and the other two last night were called Qian Sankun Si. The four of us are the young master's guards."
Huo Xichong smiled and glanced at the young master again, thinking to himself, in the situation last night, four guards were not enough, tsk tsk.
When the food arrived, the table was full. It was too much. Didn’t it mean that the young master had a bad appetite? Or were the two guards too good at eating?
Mu Yan glanced at her lightly. Kan Er saw her expression of surprise and explained: "I don't know what you like to eat, so we ordered all the restaurant's signature dishes."
I don’t know if you ask me, this is really a waste.
The meal was finished in silence.
The bowls and chopsticks were removed, and tea and fruit snacks were served.
"This is a gift from our young master. Thank you for your help."
Huo Xi waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, it's just convenient." The gift boxes looked very delicate at first glance, and they were difficult to reach out, and they were handled with soft hands.
"Take it, if it hadn't been for you that night, several of us might have ended up there. Even if we were lucky, we would have been seriously injured." Li Yi persuaded.
Huo Xi declined and had no choice but to accept it.
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to us. My young master will be your backer." Kan Er said with a smile.
The young master remained silent, so Huo Xi turned to look at him.
"If you have anything to say, just ask." Mu Yan thought Huo Xi was waiting for his promise, so he said lightly.
"Thank you." Huo Xi saluted him and thanked him.
I glanced at him again, a thought was surging in my heart, and I opened my mouth. I felt that it was a bit unkind to ask for repayment right after I had given you a favor.
But she really had no choice. Seeing Kan Er's encouraging eyes, she finally couldn't help but said: "Can I ask you a favor?"
"you say."
Huo Xi was a little embarrassed, so she accepted the gift. Others may have just said polite words. Now she was going to trouble them immediately. But she didn't know who to go to. This matter kept pressing in her heart, and she couldn't sleep well at night.
"I want you to help me find a family."
"family?"
Huo Xi lowered his head, pursed his lips, and pinched his fingertips.
"My aunt used to work as a wet nurse for a family in the city. Their family committed a crime and the whole family was exiled. My aunt is getting older and misses the young man she nursed. I wonder if he is still alive. I want to ask someone to send him something..."
Huo Xi's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, feeling a little uneasy.
But she had no choice. She didn't know who to ask, and she didn't dare to ask anyone.
Mu Yan looked at her steadily and saw her head hanging down. From his angle, he could only see her head and her eyes, and something in his heart was plucked.
He often felt like he was in the mud, being pushed in again and again, until he couldn't get up. But now compared with the other person, she seemed even more helpless, with no way to ask for help.
Li Yikan and Er looked at each other, knowing in their hearts who she wanted to inquire about. Just because she knew it, she felt a little stuffy in her heart. She sighed secretly and looked at her young master.
"Whose surname is it?" Mu Yan said calmly, his eyes never leaving hers.
Huo Xi raised her head in surprise, and after confirming that the other party really wanted to help, she opened her mouth: "Li Shimian, the former Imperial College student."
